Brack L Linscott Inc: Linscott Brack DDS at 5942 West Mall, Atascadero, California.

If you want the best dental care, go to Dr. Brack Linscott. If you just want to go through the motions of going to the dentist, doing nothing preventative and settling for semi-annual fillings and polishings by hygienists instead of real cleanings, you should probably just go to a lesser dentist. In the five decades before I relocated to this area I went to many dentists and never encountered one as meticulous, thorough and passionate as Dr. Linscott. And after living in big cities for so long, I never expected to encounter a professional of this caliber in sparsely populated San Luis Obispo County. I have to admit that I was not always the best patient. It took me a few years to overcome my reluctance to make the commitment to resolve all my dental problems (with no dental insurance coverage, I used short-term financial considerations to rationalize inaction). When one problem I had neglected for a few years finally cost me a tooth, however, I made the commitment on behalf of myself and my wife to follow Dr. Linscott's longstanding advice and do what was necessary to prevent recurrence of such problems in the future. Both of us are very glad we had the confidence in Dr. Linscott that caused us to commit to that course of action. It has been repaid many times over already. Our semi-annual dental visits are now problem-free, and the cost for our ongoing dental care is now minimal. Even more importantly, we are enjoying greatly increased comfort in our mouths 24 hours a day, along with pleasure from eating that is no longer compromised by dental problems.

In summary, if you care about your dental health now and going forward, and want the best dental care available, you will be appreciate the extraordinarily high level of competence and service that Dr. Linscott and his hygienist wife, Marsha, provide to their patients. In addition, they are pleasant people to be around and are individuals of unimpeachable integrity.

P.S. The receptionist complained about by the disgruntled college student who vented her spleen in the Yelp review dated February 23, 2013, is long since gone.
